Animal Image Recognition System (1)
Problem Statement:
Accurate animal identification is essential for wildlife conservation, animal tracking, and
educational applications. Manual classification methods are often slow and unreliable,
especially with diverse species. This project aims to create a deep learning-based image
recognition model to automate and improve the accuracy of animal classification, providing a
scalable solution for conservation and research.
Model Approach:
Architecture:
Design a CNN with convolutional, pooling, and fully connected layers to classify animal images.
Transfer Learning:
Utilize pre-trained models (e.g., ResNet, VGG) and fine-tune them for improved accuracy.
Training:
Optimize using algorithms like Adam or SGD and categorical cross-entropy loss, adjusting
hyperparameters to enhance performance.
My Contribution:
- Collect and preprocess the data to create a varied, labeled dataset.
- Design, implement, and train the CNN, adjusting architecture and parameters to achieve high
accuracy.
- Evaluate model accuracy with metrics like precision and recall, conducting error analysis to
address misclassifications.
- Support model deployment by developing an accessible application or API for real-time use.
